Now if you will excuse me, I have to go find out what I did with that lifetime license I bought 5 years ago....

I have EXACTLY the same problem. I've tried wiping everything and starting over. Wiped out all settings, removed the application, scoured the Registry. Reinstalled blank. It loaded. However, the second I pointed it at an actual folder with media, it goes right back to the same thing. Hangs basically FOREVER on trying to scan and "Preparing to start". This latest version is basically unusable.

You can't even shut it down. It is just hung hard. Happens over and over again. I'm trying to figure out how I can go back to an older version without the damn thing auto-updating itself.

Was just able to install the latest "release" fresh but, when it tries to auto-update on first boot, KILL IT. Then I was able to point it at my media and BOOMit works no problem. Refreshed everything in a matter of seconds. There is clearly something fishy with the latest sub-release updates. Maybe an issue with ffmpeg? IMO, you should not be forcing an auto-update on first boot of a fresh installation. You haven't even given the user the option as to whether they want to update yet. Once you've fought through that initial forced update, you can disable auto-updates from the Application menu. But you're not given a choice on that first install.

This is happening to me too. I've wiped the config and started over. It worked momentarily but after a server reboot it's back to doing it again. I am on the latest build as of this writing.

Ideas?

UPDATE:

So shortly after posting this...I started to mess around with the program. I was actually going to try to take a backup but I miss clicked and selected set scan folders. When it opened up, the window was empty and the program hard froze. I then closed the program via task manager. Opened it back up and it showed that I had no media, but it did fully load. Then I re-added my scan folders and everything seems to be back to normal.
